School Meals
Program Assistance

The National School Lunch Program and the School Breakfast Program provide per-meal cash reimbursements to help schools provide nutritious meals to children. Household income is used to determine whether a child will receive a reduced-price or free meal. All public and non-profit private schools and all residential care institutions can participate in the program.

To be eligible for school meals, parents must:

1. Apply to their child's school (the same application will cover both lunch and breakfast.)

2. Meet household income limits.
